Family Lawyer Cocoa, FL
When the legal responsibilities or relationships between family members change, it’s usually necessary to formalize those changes with a legal decree or court order. Divorce, for instance, is more than just ending a romantic relationship. It’s also severing a legal contract, which means jointly-owned property and assets must be divided fairly. Florida is an equitable division of property state, not a 50/50 property division state, which makes having an experienced family law attorney represent you all the more crucial.
Adoption, even though it’s a joyful legal change, still requires specific legal steps to complete. Our attorneys file the appropriate legal actions to ensure that the adoptive parents are officially recognized as the child’s guardians, and the birth parents’ rights are terminated so the adoptive parents can make legal and medical decisions for the child.
These are just a couple of the complex, yet very common, family law matters our Cocoa family lawyer handles. No matter what family law matter you face, we make sure you are treated fairly under the law and use our experience to help you reach your goals.
Family law issues are frequently contentious, especially when parties can’t agree on divorce terms or child and spousal support. Resolving the matter often means a trip to court. To help ensure that the result is what you want, we build a strong case to support your position and present it effectively before a judge, speaking on your behalf.
We also assist with enforcement actions. If your child’s other parent is behind on child support, we petition the court to take action, including garnishing wages, so you receive the funds necessary to care for your child. Your family is important, and we’re here to help you protect and support them every step of the way.
